Hello December,
Checking in to say hello. Yes. I had a small setback, so Im currently working on day four today. I just chose to drink a few, and it was only a few, but one is too many and 100 not enough. Im glad I still have the desire to stop, and Im still here.
On a more positive note, the rest of the week has been fairly ok, considering. My dogs fisrt acl surgery went smoothly, and shes at home now with me. Its going to be a long two month recovery period . Then, surgery for the other knee as well.
Glad everyone is hanging in there. Congratulations to everyone on your sober days. Lets make today another one.

Good morning everyone,
Relapsed on cigarettes but I'm still aober. Finally got some sleep. Went to a local bar to watch the game and some females, only drank water and red Bull. Bartender kept telling me how tired I look.
The desire to drink is completely gone, it's not even a though which is good.
I'm still trying to figure out how to control these cigarette cravings.. ugh

A lot of posts yesterday evening. That's always a good sign!
Assembling day (10) today. My wife was invited to a Christmas party. So, I get to play DD. That's my out...
A few more friends from her work are attending too, which I have partied with in the past. I don't have any concerns though. I'm very good at going to parties and not drinking. It's my free time and hobbies at home that I mix with alcohol.

Good morning, class!
Maximus - good to see you! I'm back on Day 4 as well.
I woke up this morning in a great mood. I have a million things going on and my to-do list is a mile long but I just feel really good, like everything will work out and it will all get done somehow. Never ever have I woke up feeling like this after drinking!

Day 20 for me, had my very first dream in which I had something to drink last night. Woke up mortified! Took what seemed like forever to accept it was just a dream... would rather just stick to the really weird ones in future

I remember 6 mile reps at 10k pace like it was yesterday

@Leasha I signed up for the Chicago Half Marathon next year and I have not ran in probably 10 years. I'd love advice!!
I spent the past 2 years drinking my way to an extra 25lbs and am looking forward to dropping that weight. I am hoping I can shift my focus from drinking to exercise.
Its Friday! I am looking forward to my weekend with my son. We are going to make some muffins tomorrow & homemade pizza for dinner, go through his clothes & do some shopping. Normally I hate shopping on the weekend bc I was always in a hurry to get home to drink, now we can just walk around.

Only thing she said she didn't like about it was it did give her a little insomnia and nightmares but it helped to take away the desire to smoke.

Checking in a little late today. I started work today at 3am plowing snow. So nice to wake up that early feeling great.
FF a new start is better than no start.
GF never quit quitting. You quit the booze I have faith you can quit the smokes too. (thats my next step in a couple months)
Betty welcome to the class!!!

Nothing terribly positive to say.
I'm planning a relapse tonight. I've been off the tater tots covered in cheese, for too long, and I'm gonna overdo it tonight. I'll be going to my parttime job in the morning with a bellyache!

Guys
Can I ask you all to remember: sharing your own experience with meds is fine, but please: no second hand experience & no recommendations for others, as that breaks our medical advice rule:
thanks
